#101: How to Intentionally Design the Life You Want with Michael Hyatt
When my dear friend Michael Hyatt said he was going to come by to join us for our latest episode, I knew it was going to be good, and profound.
And in my latest episode, he doesn’t disappoint, ladies and gentlemen...
Because he’s talking about the ONE thing we should be focused on in our lives: Our life plan. It’s all tied to his latest book, Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want, which Michael co-authored with Daniel Harkavy.
Why, you might ask, is a life plan more important than many areas of your business?
Because, as Michael says:
“A failure in one area can reverberate and cascade into other areas of our life.”
So when you’re overall life plan is off track, then your business is naturally off. According to Michael, when you’re what he calls “drifting,” you’re distracted, overwhelmed and unaware of where you should put your focus. This can create an environment for failure.
Michael helps you understand that by getting your priorities in line, so you can be prepared to make the little decisions you need to get the big results you want out of your business, and in life.
Because, it’s not the big moves that determine the quality of our output, it’s actually the little actions. In last week’s episode, I explained how I grew my business via incremental steps and not one large move.
Michael takes this one step further to help us decide what we should be focusing on in our lives, so that we are prepared and patient enough to conquer those little steps.
To get started, he prompts you to ask yourself:
- How do you want to be remembered?
- What is most important to you?
- How do I get from here (wherever that is) to where I want to be?
Michael then shares the surprising reality about putting yourself first. (It’s a tough lesson.)
